Other UBC Group Study Programs
Go Global group study programs are a unique way to learn about another part of the world alongside other students and led by a university faculty member.
Given the nature of these programs, specific group study program options change each year. On an ongoing basis, we may add new programs or alter existing programs.
The following list of programs highlights group study opportunities, available to UBC students, which are affiliated with Go Global but not run by our office.
| Program | Application Deadline | Eligibility | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| LFS 302A: International Field Studies in Sustainable Agriculture – Cuba | This course starts on April 30; applications open in March. | Open to any student registered in a post-secondary institution. | LFS 302A is a distance education course based on three weeks of travel and learning in Cuba. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba went from high input monoculture to world leadership in sustainable agriculture virtually overnight. By combining the interactive learning capabilities of an online course and the field studies trip to Cuba in May, students explore the Cuban model and its relevance for food production in other countries, in particular Canada. In three weeks of travel throughout Cuba, students will have the opportunity to visit farms, agricultural universities, research stations and urban agriculture centres. |
| European Summer Program (Sauder) | January 20, 2012 | You must have completed year three by time the program starts but not be graduating this May. | Sauder School of Business students have been participating in the European Summer Study Program since 2001. This five-week summer program offered through the Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester provides the opportunity to study with one of the top business schools in Europe, while visiting England, France and the Czech Republic.
